Frequently asked questions

Is my Palmerston Place flat listed?
Almost certainly yes — most Palmerston Place addresses are Category B listed. Check the Historic Environment Scotland portal by full address; we confirm during survey.
Can I install acoustic glazing on Shandwick Place?
Yes — acoustic-laminate secondary glazing fitted 100-150mm behind the original sash delivers 38-42 dB Rw, cutting through-traffic noise to a quiet murmur. LBC permitted because the original sash is untouched.
What's the realistic timeline for an LBC-approved West End project?
8-12 weeks from instruction to start on site: 2-3 weeks survey and heritage statement, 8 weeks council determination, 1-2 weeks scaffold and manufacture lead-in. We programme around it.
Do you have West End project references I can see?
Yes — we'll share three recent completed projects on Atholl Crescent, Walker Street and Manor Place with consenting owners' permission. Available at the survey appointment.
